Abortion opponents eye priorities as high court ruling looms

Opponents of abortion rights insist their work won’t end even if the Supreme Court decides to dismantle the Roe v. Wade decision establishing the constitutional right to an abortion. A conservative majority of justices on the high court has indicated openness to upholding a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. Since then, the political fundraising arm of the Susan B. Anthony List anti-abortion group has raked in donations. The cash virtually guarantees the court’s decision, expected by the summer, will do little to quell one of the nation’s most animating political issues. Abortion opponents say they’ll pump their newfound resources into the November midterm elections.
